  Summary of this Book...

This book is set in the future... in the Republic of Gilead. Everybody has a role... and the consequences for not following your assigned role are great.

This book is quite difficult to summarise, but the best book I've ever read.

  This type of Book is good for...

adults who are looking for an amazingly powerful book that will get them thinking.

  I especially liked...

the fact that from the first page I was captivated. That's huge for me, as I usually don't enjoy reading because I can't "get into" the story. This book wasn't like that, though.

  I didn't like...

The ending. (but can't say any more about that now, can I?)

  When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...

read more of Margaret Atwood. (So, I did.)

  This Book made me feel...

sad due to the book's events, but amazed at the writing.

  The author of this Book...

is extrememly tallented.

  I recommend this Book because...

its the best book I've ever read. Atwood's word choice is beautiful. She allows the reader to feel as if they're living with Offred and the rest of the characters.

  Further Comments...

There is also a movie made (after the book.) The movie, so you know, changes things. And even gives away Offred's previous name. (That really bothered me.)
